My Favourites
I Love to be Luxurious
I enjoy luxurious settings and environments. Why? Well, luxury has a way of relaxing and calming you. Luxury makes me happy and that, in turn, reflects on my face, demeanour, and behaviour. When people splurge on luxuries, it stimulates the release of dopamine, the hormone that makes you experience happiness, wellness, and good. So, luxuries have a profound effect on my mood.
When I surround myself with luxuries, I enjoy the amenities. Whether it is a plush Persian rug, a brocade curtain, or satin sheets, every piece evokes a sense of achievement, care, and comfort. I like to be in control of my narrative and what makes me so unique and different. That is precisely what I achieve with luxuries. So, if you want to pamper me and splurge on me, I will never complain!
